By Ben Christie (email) Independent Renewable Energy Consultant

SUMMARY:

• GREEN stands for the “Global Renewable Energy Electricity Network”GREEN is a global grid linking together the world’s abundant sources of renewable energy, delivering clean energy to every country on the planet.
• GREEN addresses climate change, poverty and sustainability.
• GREEN costs 1% of global GDP per year and will take 20 years to complete.
• GREEN is spending better not more: we already spend more on polluting and finite conventional energy and subsidies.
• GREEN is co-operative and equitable: each country pays for and receives energy in direct proportion to its needs.
• GREEN is already happening: DESERTEC in EU-MENA. The Repower Initiative in the U.S. GCCIA in the Middle East.
• GREEN’s network is already 75% complete: existing national grids only need to be linked together by long distance transmission lines.
• GREEN will be public commons: paid for, constructed and managed by an independent supervisory body; funded by individual tax contribution delivered by national governments.
• GREEN’s vision: “One World. One Energy. One Per Cent.” A renewable energy network for the entire planet. Paid for equitably by all. Used by and shared between the entire global population.
